Chapter 463: The Gambling Contract
"Why?" said the old man, as he walked forward, sighing softly, "There must be a gambling contract involved. ”
"Bet?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wondered.
"Yes, it's a gambling contract, a gambling contract between an old dragon king and Li Qingqiu, what exactly was betting, no one knows about it for thousands of years, and even the old dragon king himself has forgotten, only to know that the final one is indeed Li Qingqiu's gamble lost. The old man said slowly.
"With Li Qingqiu's temperament, if he is willing to gamble and lose, he will naturally not deny it, so don't you put this thing in the Dragon Palace. ”
Hearing the old man say this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thought about Li Qingqiu's temperament carefully, maybe this was really the case, but he always felt that there was still some doubt in it, and he didn't understand it.
"Alright, stop thinking nonsense, follow me, we need to hurry up. The old man continued, "God knows what will happen next, so we have to hurry up." ”
"Alas. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince answered, and hurriedly followed, and now he had eight layers of certainty in his heart, the old man and what he was looking for were the same secret methods to cover up the heavens.
This is a conflict, thinking about it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly shook his head, alas, now that he hasn't even seen anything, whether he can succeed or not, why bother thinking so much.
In the deep tunnel, the two of them, one old and one young, stepped on the water waves in circles, and approached the place in front of them at an increasing speed, which must be the treasure pavilion of the Dragon Palace.
The Lotus Heart Pavilion is under the lake, criss-crossing and connecting the entire Dragon Palace, and the two of them are in this straight long road, and they don't know how long they have walked, but they can clearly feel that they are getting more and more upward.
Xu was about to arrive, and the two of them quickened their pace a little.
Suddenly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince felt a heat in his chest, his eyes were strange, he reached into his arms, and accurately touched a thin stone chip, and then he remembered that this thing that had been placed close to his chest was given to him by the unfortunate son, saying that he was fortunate to be able to come to the Dragon Palace and would use it.
Carefully took this thing out of his arms, and a trace of pale yellow light began to spread outward from His Royal Highness the Prince's chest, causing the old man to turn around.
"Hey, it is. The old man sighed softly, looking at the long stone flakes in the darkness in front of him, exuding a glimmer of light, and was a little surprised.
"It's guiding, showing me the way. Holding this stone piece that is not gold or jade, I don't know what material it is, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said softly as if he was aware of it.
"Tsk, what kind of tricks is this unfortunate boy playing. The old man took a few steps closer, looked at the stone chip that suddenly glowed in the hand of His Royal Highness the Prince, and looked at the mysterious characters that flashed in the circle, and said in amazement.
"Boy, what do you think. Now there is no room for hesitation and delay, the old man raised his head, looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and asked.
"The direction of this thing's guidance, for the time being, is also going straight along this long road, let's walk first, and then talk about changes when there are changes. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't think too much about it, and nodded after speaking.
Continuing to walk forward, His Highness's mind began to think back and forth, what happened on the top floor of the Xihai Inn before, no matter how you look at it, you can't feel the hostility of that unsympathetic son.
Maybe it's really what he said, this thing is useful in the Dragon Palace, and it is useful for himself. Or maybe he pinned the hard-to-find changes on himself.
Either way, His Highness decided to give it a try.
After this strange change, the two of them walked in this underwater passage for about half an hour, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly stopped again.
"Why, there's a new change?" asked the old man, turning around.
"Yes. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded and replied lightly, and then ignored the old man, holding the stone chip in his hand, and walked forward step by step, following the induction of the character in his hand, more and more to the right.
It wasn't until he hit the invisible barrier that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stopped. Yes, yes, the stone chips in my hand are here, and the reaction is the most violent.
Thinking like this in his heart, His Royal Highness stretched out his hand and slowly touched the invisible barrier, and then in the old man's surprised eyes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's right hand slowly passed through the barrier.
"It's the way to go. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince turned his head to look at the old man and said.
"It's simple, two choices, one is to follow me to find the thing, and the other is that you follow this stone chip to see what it wants to show you. The old man smiled and continued: "Follow me, but you can still take care of your kid, if you want to follow this stone, you can only rely on yourself if you encounter something." ”
"But following me is not necessarily safe, what can I encounter in front, I can't say the old man, I can't say that you will become a burden to my old man. "The old man's style of speaking has not changed, and it will always be so popular.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rolled his eyes, then looked at the stone chip in his hand, and said slowly but firmly: "I'll go this way." ”
"Okay, the young man dares to break through, since he has decided to be grinded and chirped, let's go~" The old man said with a smile and waved his sleeve robe, and rushed forward along the long road, without looking back, and disappeared in the sight of His Royal Highness the Prince in the dark depths of the long road in an instant.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth, this old man ran really simply.
And the reason why he chose this way was first to think that since the secret method of covering the heavens was a thing of inheritance, it could not be a consumable item if it existed so far.
Therefore, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not worried, he can wait for the old man to read it, and then go to ask for it, and it is estimated that it is a matter of spending more money to buy some good wine for the old man.
Even if you follow the old man, it is impossible for you to snatch something from the old man, and at the same time, as the old man said, I have to admit that I may become a burden to the old man.
It's better to seize the unknown or opportunity. Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't think much about it, and leaned forward along the invisible hole and got in.
Standing in an invisible long road that was no different from before, there was still a foot under his feet, and a circle of water rippled out, if the only difference was that he and the old man were in different directions, and since then the two soldiers have been divided into two ways.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince let out a sigh of relief, then his eyes were firm, and he walked forward towards the unknown ahead, following the guidance of the stone shard in his hand.
In the boundless and lonely long road, it is lonely and lonely for a person to go alone, but fortunately, there is a clear goal, and the stone chip in his hand is like a living thing as a guide, and it can be regarded as a companion, which is finally better.
I don't know if the old man who left him has now followed the long road and found the Treasure Pavilion, in short, His Highness himself is about to faint.
The long path that I stepped into under the guidance of the stone tablets turned out to be not a straight line, but it didn't go far and began to turn, and it turned and turned, and His Highness felt that he was trapped in the criss-crossing river basin below the Dragon Palace, like a labyrinth......
